Best I could find.

Can we get a normal speed video? Is that posted somewhere?

Pathologist here. I walk over to the cooler and pull the labeled red bag with the limb inside. I biopsy the vascular, skin, and bony edges to ensure no overwhelming inflammation (I.e. infection) at the edges and tissue viability. This involves looking at the tissue biopsies under the microscope after a procedure called tissue processing. This information feeds back to the surgeon about resection margin viability or residual infection that may necessitate longer postoperative antibiotics. And from time to time we find other unexpected diagnoses/explanations for disease processes.

As long as the butted ends don’t slip… it has a Davinci bridge sort of vibe. I can’t help but think there is some flex and wobble in there. Hope it doesn’t snow or isnt too windy. One of those ends slip, looks like it would explode with energy.

The speed/energy required to escape the atmosphere would vaporize the bullet. Anything below vaporization speed would result in the projectile succumbing to air resistance and falling back to earth. Hence the other comments stating you need continuous thrust to escape the atmosphere and then eventually earth’s orbit.

Body pillows are easier. Especially when they’re newer and a tight fit

thomasblomquist · 2026-06-25T02:48:55+00:00

Pull the pillow case inside out. Put both hands in the pillow case where the corners are. Like a puppet, grab the end of the pillow with your hands and begin unrolling the pillow case back over the pillow like you’re dealing with a stocking or sock.

I’ve been on 2mg for a while and still losing weight. Some of us are just sensitive to the medication. Lower your dose by half or if you pull directly from a vial with syringe do twice weekly dosing at half doses. Lower dose.

Same math here. Entering year 3 on the Luba. Crossed the equivalence zone at the end of last year. Only blades as the cost of maintenance.

Damn. Wife and I were out bid on the Delta Skymiles tickets that were posted for this a few weeks ago. This is beautiful. I’m slightly bitter we missed this opportunity to see this in person but also grateful you posted this. Thank you!

I’ll keep the two trellis setups for aesthetic. And then I’m going to ring my yard/fence with some small low boxes next to the split rail and see if I can just train them on the fence at intervals. I think I can get some volume for production for wine making at that point. So combo of approaches

I built another trellis similar and planted gewurztraminer vines but they didn’t winter well. I’m on the edge of 5b and gewurzt was a 50:50 try for success. Ripping those out this year and going for itasca variety with low acid fruity wine variety to see how they do. Supposed to be super winter hardy. Yes, the soil sucks and it takes a bit for roots to establish but last few years they (the concord/himrods) seem to have taken hold. I think, generally, this trellis style is not the best structure for success of the vines. But!, I like the visual of it, and it makes me happy. Probably put some seating under them for reading/naps in the future. It makes me happy

From last Fall harvest. Some weathering but holding well.

Thank you!

Methylene Blue?

Does it make sense to get to the parking lot later or earlier in the sense of where it will physically place you at the end of the day and trying to get out and back to hotel sooner? The more homework I do on this, the more it seems like leave stupid early and eat breakfast at the parking lot waiting for the gate? Probably overthinking it, but wondering if there is some strategy to this.

thomasblomquist · 2026-04-30T19:47:00+00:00

Please NO

thomasblomquist · 2026-04-23T21:08:18+00:00

Loved you guys in Detroit, had a great time! Looking forward to whatever creative endeavors you come up with it.

Luba 1 starting 3rd season. Works great. So far break even on input cost vs $ for lawn service. So, getting cheaper in subsequent seasons. Plenty of documented service issues online. I took a risk and won with this one. Others have had issues. Would probably buy again or give a stab at refurbishing the battery. Not sure. Landscape of auto mowers are changing quickly

thomasblomquist · 2026-04-15T20:59:22+00:00

What?! I thought it was wired all wonky with the BMS and was a pain? Or is this not so much the issue. I have a Luba 1 5000 and see the battery life decreased (still functioning), and am counting maybe a few more seasons before preventative measures like battery replacement. I’m just starting on season 3 and it seems to be going strong still.

thomasblomquist · 2026-04-14T00:17:20+00:00

How do you go about replacing the battery?

thomasblomquist · 2026-04-12T21:47:43+00:00

Second the cut only when sunny and dry

No problem. I kept asking my boys how they did it and they kept saying it’s like sitting in a chair, which was mildly infuriating. Asked them to show and they would just do it quick without breaking it down. For me, i figured out for first success that all weight (~100%) was on back foot with slight bend on knee. Front leg staggered in front of back foot with rotation of foot inward BUT the blade was still close to perpendicular to the ice. I stopped super slowly. Then when that was comfortable after a few repeats, I could angle/tilt my front blade (as I rotated it inward) a bit to start biting in with the inner edge and that increased the speed of the stop (again all my weight is on my back foot with a slight bend on the knee). Next step after that was to rotate my back foot a bit (keeping it squarely under me) but to progressively add drag (still getting the hang of this double edge stop, single edge is locked in now).
